There are many "little" issues here that you need to discuss with ana ttorney that can read through the policy dicuments to determine what you need to do. Why are they refusing treatment?  Is it because she has reached the million dollar mark?  There are isues with pre existing conditions and the law has changed as to same and the your rights and the responsibilities of the insurance company.  You may have to sue them and ask the court for a declaratory judgement on the issue.  Good luck.
